In this volume Cornelius Van Til focuses on the nature of a commitment to biblical authority and its implications for non-Christian thought. To some degree an expansion of and supplement to his The Defense of the Faith, this book compares and contrasts a consistently Christian approach to knowledge with interpretations that have been given to it throughout church history. Van Til gives specific attention to the views of the church fathers, Roman Catholicism, evangelicalism, and liberalism, as well as recent methods of defending the faith.

(Cornelius Van Til's Christianity and Barthianism continue...)
Cornelius Van Til's Christianity and Barthianism continues in the tradition of Machen's Christianity and Liberalism. As the title indicates, Van Til is convinced that Barth's mature theology is as destructive of orthodoxy as early nineteenth and twentieth century Liberalism (or Modernism). In this volume, Van Til analyzes and evaluates Barth's trinitarian theology, christology, notion of time and eternity, his formulation of Geshichte, as well as philosophical influences on Barth's thinking. Offering a critique that was years ahead of its time, Van Til's analysis of Barthianism as fundamentally opposed to historic Reformed theology remains as sound today as it was almost fifty years ago. This text is required reading for those interested in a critical analysis of Barth's theology.

Restoring the full text of the original 1972 work, this collection of annotated essays addresses questions on common grace and its relevance to the gospel. A pioneer in presuppositional apologetics, Cornelius Van Til sets forth a Christian philosophy of history; examines the views of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Hoeksema, and others in the debate over common grace; and replies to criticism.

(The present study contains two parts. The first part was ...)
The present study contains two parts. The first part was used by the author for a number of years as a class syllabus on Christian Evidences. The main contention of this syllabus was to the effect that the traditional ButlerAnalogy type of argument for the factual truthfulness of Christianity is basically defective. Its basic defect is to be found in the fact that, with Arminian theology, it begins by assuming that the enemies of the gospel of Christ are right in holding that man is, or may be, self-explanatory, and that the facts of his environment are, or may be, purely chance-produced and directed. A true method of Christian Evidences must start with the interpretation of man and his universe as given to him on the absolute authority of Christ speaking in Scripture in order then to show that unless this is done man abides under the wrath of God and his speech is meaningless. The appendix contains a portion of a series of three lectures given at Calvin Theological Seminary in October 1968. It deals with essentially the same subject as the first part. Its argument is to the effect that the method of more recent non-Christian scientific methodology is bankrupt because it insists that man can know nothing of God and yet speaks in all its utterance about God. As a consequence recent scientists make an absolute separation between an abstract law of logic which is like a turnpike in the sky, and an infinite number of purely contingent facts, not one of which is distinguishable from another.

(This new, annotated edition of "The Defense of the Faith"...)
This new, annotated edition of "The Defense of the Faith" restores the full text of the original work in a form that is more easily understood. Cornelius Van Til, who taught for more than forty-five years at Westminster Seminary, sometimes used philosophical vocabulary in "The Defense," and many of his conversation partners and critics were not widely known. When later editions greatly abridged this work for these reasons, valuable discussions were laid aside. Now they are restored, and with added clarification. Newly edited and retypeset, this unabridged edition features a foreword and explanatory notes by K. Scott Oliphint, which help us grasp a method of apologetics consistent with the nature of Christianity itself and continually relevant to our time.

(From the Preface: Who is Jesus Christ? What does it matte...)
From the Preface: Who is Jesus Christ? What does it matter anyway? Never before has this - the most important question of all time - been so debated and obscured as at the present time. And the sad fact is that most of the confusion is being caused by those who themselves claim to be members of the "Christian Church." The Christ of the Scripture, as the one and only source of meaning for every aspect of human life, is the Christ that must be brought to men. But this Christ is not the Christ of modern theology, and of the modern church. The Christ who alone is Lord of life is the Christ of the Reformers, of Augustine, and of the Scripture. To present the voice of this Christ as the Lord of life in the valley of death as opposed to the Christ of modernism and neo-orthodoxy, is the purpose of this little book.
